Waltham Forest Council’s Connecting Communities programme is a shared plan to have a borough that feels like home for everyone who lives and works here, ensuring they feel included, supported and safe.
We want to unlock the collective power of Waltham Forest’s people to build an integrated, supportive and safe community where every resident and local organisation is empowered to lead change that makes Waltham Forest a better place to live.
As part of this plan we have introduced local networks including in Leytonstone which has helped bring our local communities together as well as supporting them to share resources and building stronger links with the council.
Refreshments will be provided and the Network Managers and local partners will be sharing information on local developments, achievements and opportunities.
This event is for Network Members who are already registered with the Connecting Communities team. If you are not already a member of the Waltham Forest Council Connecting Communities local network area there is no better time to join!
The event is on Monday 16 December 2019, 1 – 3pm at The Score Centre, 100 Oliver Centre, Leyton, E10 5JY. Numbers are limited so you must sign up to attend.
Each of the four Connecting Communities areas - Chingford, Leyton, Leytonstone and Walthamstow - has its own email newsletter to keep residents in touch with what is happening in their area.
